McKesson Multi-Purpose Underpads 23 x 24 Light
McKesson Multi-Purpose Surface Protectors, 23" x 24", Light Absorbency
Lightweight, Disposable Coverage for Everyday Spills and Light Moisture
The McKesson Multi-Purpose Underpad is the light-duty utility player of the disposable pad category — a 23 by 24 inch surface protector for chairs, changing tables, small beds, and linens wherever light fluid contact is expected. Three layers of soft, absorbent tissue efficiently trap light moisture and spills, while the blue polyethylene backsheet forms a waterproof barrier that keeps the surface underneath dry.
The compact size and single-use design are the point: lay a pad down for the task or the day, then roll it up and toss it for quick cleanup and a fresh start each time. Nonsterile and latex-free, these pads suit both home routines and professional settings — seating areas, daily care tasks, equipment trays, and any spot where a lightweight disposable layer keeps the environment clean and dry without the bulk or cost of a heavy pad. Each pack contains a generous 200 pads, so a fresh one is always within reach.
Key Features
- 3-Ply Tissue Core: Three layers of soft, absorbent tissue efficiently trap light moisture and spills.
- Waterproof Poly Backing: The blue polyethylene backsheet forms a moisture-proof barrier that protects the surface underneath.
- Compact Versatility: The 23 x 24 inch size suits seating areas, small beds, changing tables, and daily care routines.
- Disposable Convenience: Single-use design allows quick cleanup and a fresh, hygienic surface every time.
- Latex-Free: Not made with natural rubber latex, suitable for users with latex sensitivities.
Equipment Specialist Insight: Match the pad to the job and the budget follows. These light-absorbency tissue pads cost a fraction of polymer pads and are the right choice for the high-frequency, low-volume jobs — chair seats, changing surfaces, spills, grooming. The moment the job involves extended wear or real fluid volume, switch to a polymer-core pad like the McKesson Super or Ultra series. Most households that stock both end up using far more of these than they expected.

Q: Which side faces up?
A: The soft white tissue side faces up. The blue polyethylene side is the waterproof barrier and always faces down, against the chair, table, or surface being protected.
Q: How does this compare to the 17" x 24" McKesson procedure underpad?
A: Both use a tissue core with a blue poly backing. This 23" x 24" pad is six inches wider — better for chair seats and changing surfaces — while the 17" x 24" procedure pad has a heavier 3-ply tissue weight for exam-style tasks. For light everyday coverage, this is the more versatile of the two.
Q: Can these handle overnight bed protection?
A: They are not designed for that. The tissue core is rated for light moisture and spills; for extended wear or larger fluid volumes, choose a polymer-core pad such as the McKesson Super (moderate) or Ultra (heavy) series.
